Salernitana vs Sassuolo prediction 05.04.2024.

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: Friday, 5th April 2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UTC +1 / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Stadio Arechi (Salerno)

On Friday evening, two relegation contenders, Salernitana and Sassuolo, will face off at Stadio Arechi in Salerno.

Salernitana were close to the danger zone in the previous two seasons, finishing 17th and 15th. However, the Garnets will need a miracle this season to survive this time. They are at the bottom of the league with a disappointing 14 points in 30 rounds and are now 11 points away from the safe zone. With only eight rounds left, a win over another relegation candidate is a must. 

Sassuolo's results have slowly declined in recent seasons, but probably no one expected such a poor season from them this year. Throughout the season, many football experts expected Neroverdi to turn things around and escape the relegation battle, but that has yet to happen. Despite a terrible season, Sassuolo is only one point away from the safe zone. Still, they will have a challenging task to avoid relegation as they will face really good teams in the remaining games. 

Salernitana vs Sassuolo pick: Under 2.5 goals

Salernitana are in terrible form, winning only one point in seven matches while scoring only four goals. But those poor offensive performances are nothing new, considering the Garrnets scored an average of only 0.77 per game this season. 

Sassuolo are on an absolutely terrible road run, losing eight in a row! Additionally, they have failed to score in six of those eight matches. So, scoring a goal away from home is a challenging task, even against the worst team in the league. 

Considering all the above, we believe that an under 2.5 goals bet is the safest option for this Serie A game.
